Firearms and self-defense

The most interesting thing about the theory of imminent threat, is that I've read dozens of books spanning from 1947 to 2013 that describe the imminent martial law, fascist dictatorship, etc. in the US either by our government or the UN (more common recently), and they always think it's about to happen tomorrow and always have circumstantial evidence to back it up.

Here's what we need to remember:

1. The politicians work for the banks. The banks already have what they want, 100% control over a debt based society. We elect who they want because they choose who we can choose between.
2. Slavery works best when the slaves think they're free. If they get violent, we get violent.
3. We can't occupy Iraq with our military. We couldn't occupy New York City with our military and it's an island. We've learned this over and over in wars... when we go with an objective to take out, we kick butt. When we try to occupy, we suck. The occupation is already here, and it's control through distraction via entertainment, drama and finances. They don't need boots on the ground for this to be effective.
4. President Obama has no power. I'm not sure why people are afraid of him; he can't do anything without help from agencies or the other branches of government. If he actually pulled rank and ordered martial law, my money would be on him not being president within 72 hours.
5. Reiteration of the point that they gain nothing from using force when we give them what they want voluntarily.

When I say Nothing is True, the context I most often use it in is "Nothing is True just because someone wrote it down or said it". It's encouragement to use one's own faculty for reason and to weigh individual facts in the context of the larger picture. There is also a quantum reality explanation, but this is the most common.

The other possibility is that there may be orders to reduce the supply of civilian ammunition without an ulterior motive. This could be the most effective constitutional way they could dream up of how to enforce bullet control, rather than gun control.

That wouldn't necessitate a plan for them to fire them back at civilians; but reducing the supply in the face of currently high demand because of concern about looming gun control measures could easily have the effect of raising prices on bullets, thus reducing their availability to low income citizens, who they may believe to be more likely to commit crimes with them. Higher prices may lower future My area hasn't been hit with any ammunition shortages, so I can't speak to who is purchasing ammo and why. Sporting goods stores here are full.

There are links all over. Many different sources. It's not just Alex jones and glen beck. Several news agencies, even CNN had a story on it. I will try to find more links. As far as Obama not having power, under martial law he would. And the martial law action isn't reviewable by congress for six months. Doesn't need congresses approval. No habeas corpus, can you even try to impeach a sitting president under martial law?

A pilot in a fighter/bomber would have a better chance of identifying that the targeted individuals are actually on sight than someone watching a video screen. Also is the drone targeting system as accurate as the one used in our fighters?

Don't even get me started on the whole UAV issue.

Isn't that why everything is in the news now?

These are not normal buying prices... Especially considering you're talking about domestic agencies. I could understand if it was military ordered. But it's not

As I had mentioned in an earlier post, check out Free Speech TV (FSTV) or Link TV (LINK), neither of them play to either of the political parties. I get both of those channels on DirectTV, I'm not sure if any of the cable companies carry them, especially Comcast, they just bought NBC, our favorite left leaning channel(sarcasm intended).

These all seem to be rounds used for range qualification and training exercises.

During my last 6 months of Military duty, I got stuck in the front gate guard shack on the 11pm to 7am shift. The Gunners Mate would take people to the range almost everyday, so I always tagged along because I had nothing better to do at 7am. I probably went through a 100 rounds a day. Take that times 4 to 5 days a week, times 6 months. That's a lot of ammo.

I think the drone program to be used on American soil against American citizens is wrong. I don't want the government to operate
without due process, period. I don't want the government to fail to ask permission for the exercise of such force and then seek forgiveness
later. I don't want a Star Chamber scenario to present itself because I don't think we can trust human frailties when exercising such power.
What the government says today will be different than how they act later.
